The whole of the household was filled with amazement:
The Cups and the Saucers danced madly about;
The Plates and the Dishes looked out of the casement;
The Salt-cellar stood on his head with a shout;
The Spoons, with a clatter, looked out of the lattice;
The Mustard-pot climbed up the gooseberry-pies;
The Soup-ladle peeped through a heap of veal-patties,
And
squeaked
with a ladle-like scream of surprise.

Safe from all eyes as in the loneliest ground;
And little chats that in bean stalks will lie

Up little poles in wreaths of scarlet flowers.

O Queens, in vain old Fate decreed
Your flower-like bodies to the tomb;
Death is in truth the vital seed
Of your
imperishable
bloom
Each new-born year the bulbuls sing
Their songs of your renascent loves;
Your beauty wakens with the spring
To kindle these pomegranate groves.

Je laisse, a Gavarni, poete des chloroses,
Soa troupeau
gazouillant
de beautes d'hopital,
Car je ne puis trouver parmi ces pales roses
Une fleur qui ressemble a mon rouge ideal.

The pagan race would never rest, but come
Out of the sea, where the sweet waters run;
They leave Marbris, they leave behind Marbrus,
Upstream
by Sebre doth all their navy turn.

Adam Davy's Five Dreams about Edward II - 1389 |
|
Thou art my heart's sun in love's crystalline:
Yet on both sides at once thou canst not shine:
Thine is the bright side of my heart, and thine
My heart's day, but the shadow of my heart,
Issue of its own substance, my heart's night
Thou canst not lighten even with _thy_ light,
All
powerful
in beauty as thou art.

From the
darkness
dread and drear,
Her light fled,
Stony, dread,
And her locks covered with grey despair.
